As filed

Compared to a more accurate test of the market from two weeks ago, steers and heifers traded steady. Demand was good overall, best for the steers. Supply was moderate to heavy with nice weather to move cattle and several attractive consignments offered. One highlight was a straight load of thinner fleshed 502 lb steers with groups of good home-raised calves to go with them. An offering of bred cows followed the feeders. Slaughter cows and bulls sold steady to 3.00 higher with the most advance on the leaner cows.

One sale is one barn on one day. The state ladder is every Missouri auction USDA reported that week, weighted by head — the fairer test of whether a lot sold well.
